In addition, oriented intermediate transfer portion on the transport path of the paper P along arrow B direction The secondary transfer position of 40 supplies the sheet feeding section 70 of paper P, is arranged in the two of intermediate transfer portion 40 The fixing section 80 in the sheet transport direction downstream of secondary transfer position.
In image-generating unit 50Y~50K of each color of Y, M, C, K, exposure device 60Y~ 60K possesses the signal that drives accepted from the output of above-mentioned control portion 100 respectively and produces the LD of laser (not shown), be used for making this laser to be partial to exposure scan photoconductor drum on main scanning direction Polygonal mirror (not shown) etc. on 51Y~51K.It addition, image-generating unit 50Y~50K is by feeling Body of light is roused 51Y~51K, is disposed in charged charger 52Y~52K about, developing unit 53Y~53K, primary transfer roller 54Y~54K and remover 55Y~55K etc. are constituted.
Photoconductor drum 51Y~51K, before accepting above-mentioned exposure, is eliminated device 55Y~55K and removes The residual toner on surface, by not shown erasing light irradiation after electric eliminating, by charged charging Device 52Y~52K is the most charged, if by above-mentioned laser when the most charged Accept exposure, then form electrostatic latent image on the surface of photoconductor drum 51Y~51K.
At developing unit 53Y~53K equipped with containing each color with the toner concentration of regulation respectively The developing agent of the binary of toner, each electrostatic latent image respectively by each color developing unit 53Y~ 53K is with the toner development of each color.Thus, on the surface of photoconductor drum 51Y~51K respectively Form the toner image of Y, M, C, K, in each transfer position, according to being disposed in middle turning Print the effect of primary transfer roller 54Y~54K of the rear side with 41, be transferred to successively along arrow On the intermediate transfer belt 41 that head direction rotates.Now, it is transferred in rotation with the coincidence of this toner image Intermediate transfer belt 41 on the mode of identical position, stagger towards downstream from upstream side fixed Time ground perform each color imaging action.
The intermediate transfer belt 41 of the multiple toner image transferred with each color further rotates, with in Between the opposed secondary transfer roller 42 of transfer belt 41 abut, until it reaches form transfer nip Position.In the way of Tong Bu with the rotation of intermediate transfer belt 41, paper is supplied to this transfer nip P, in transfer nip by the toner image of each color transferred by overlap on intermediate transfer belt 41 It is transferred to paper P.Wherein, non-transfer to paper P, but remain on intermediate transfer belt 41 The cleaned scraper plate of toner 49 is removed, is reclaimed.
The paper P of the multiple toner image transferred with each color is transported to fixing along arrow B direction Portion 80.The fixing roller 81 of fixing section 80 possesses heater H in inside, utilizes control portion 100 Control the energising to heater H.Paper P is fixed roller 81 and at high temperature pressurizes, fixing roller 81 The toner particle on surface be deposited over and be fixed on paper using surface after, be discharged to discharge tray On 82.

Fig. 2 illustrates of the registration colour code during offset detection of position in transfer belt 41 formed between Individual example.Figure when Fig. 2 is to observe intermediate transfer belt 41 from the arrow A direction of Fig. 1.Such as figure Shown in 2, registration colour code Rk~Ry is by (with main sweep orthogonal with band direct of travel according to each color Retouch direction parallel) a plurality of straight line composition.For forming the lettering number of this registration colour code Rk~Ry According to being pre-stored in memory element 100b, based on these lettering data, pass through image-forming assembly In 50Y~50K transfer belt formed between 41.When not producing color displacement, join Quasi-colour code Rk~Ry is formed as each color and gives volume the most in order to a plurality of line part Number time the identical straight line of this numbering (be in identical position relationship each other) each other, with With on the direction (sub scanning direction) that direct of travel is parallel, there is distance G each other.
Formation spacing p of each registration colour code Rk~Ry shown in Fig. 2 is set to the week of photoconductor drum Long 1/4.Additionally, formation spacing p of each registration colour code is not particularly limited, but preferably Girth or the divided in equal amounts of girth for photoconductor drum.Thereby, it is possible to eliminate by photoconductor drum Rotary shaft vibrates the impact brought.
The registration colour code being transferred to intermediate transfer belt 41 from photoconductor drum 51Y~51K Rk~Ry rotates along with intermediate transfer belt 41, and is examined by position offset detection sensor 43 respectively Surveying, its detection signal is sent to control portion 100.Control portion 100 is according to by position offset detection The detection signal of sensor 43 detection, on the basis of the position of the registration colour code Rk of K color, Obtain from detecting that registration colour code Rk starts to registration colour code Rc~Ry detecting other colors Each time, according to calculated time and time when not producing color displacement Difference calculate position offset Hy, Hm, Hc of sub scanning direction.Here, for each face According to being in the line part of identical position relationship position offset each other, color, takes that it is average, but The calculating of position offset Hy, Hm, Hc itself can use known method.
But, if as it is shown on figure 3, intermediate transfer belt deteriorates in time because of use, then secondary turns The rotary speed when rotary speed of intermediate transfer belt when print roller separates contacts than secondary transfer roller Slowly, for from detecting that K color registrates colour code Rk and starts to the registration detecting other colors For each time till colour code Rc~Ry, the time ratio two of the state that secondary transfer roller separates The time of the state of secondary transfer roll crimping is long.Therefore, formed according to actual image and registration is revised Perform under different conditions, thus produce the problem that can not revise color displacement in high precision.
The present inventor etc. find, if making secondary transfer roller in the intermediate transfer belt 41 of new product The rotation of intermediate transfer belt 41 under 42 states contacted with intermediate transfer belt 41 and separated state Rotary speed does not produce difference, even and if the intermediate transfer belt 41 that deteriorates in time because of use, The rotation of intermediate transfer belt 41 when secondary transfer roller 42 contacts with intermediate transfer belt 41 Speed is also almost identical with during new product.Therefore, by intermediate transfer belt 41 be during new product rotation speed Degree regards as intermediate transfer belt 41 in being continuing with, secondary transfer roller 42 and intermediate transfer belt 41 Contact state time rotary speed (benchmark rotary speed) and be stored in memory element 100b, Using above-mentioned benchmark rotary speed to calculate makes secondary transfer roller 42 contact with intermediate transfer belt 41 The difference of the rotary speed of the intermediate transfer belt 41 of the state of state and separation, based on the rotation calculated Rotary speed difference correction position side-play amount.
First, in the present invention, when intermediate transfer belt 41 is new product, by secondary transfer roller Under 42 separately positioned states, form registration colour code Rk~Ry shown in Fig. 2, inclined by position Move detection sensor 43, such as, measured by internal timer and carry out from by exposure device 60K The write of registration colour code Rk start to by position offset detection sensor 43 to detect registration color Time till mark Rk.And, according to pre-enter, the photoconductor drum of exposure device 60K Exposure position on 51K is examined to distance, the skew of primary transfer position to position of primary transfer position The rotary speed of the distance and photoconductor drum 51K of surveying sensor 43 calculates intermediate transfer belt 41 Rotary speed, be stored in memory element 100b as benchmark rotary speed Vb.
Then, in position offset detection processes, benchmark based on intermediate transfer belt 41 rotates speed Degree Vb and actual rotary speed Vb ' speed difference Δ Vb, revise the position detected inclined Shifting amount.Fig. 4 shows the example of the flow chart of the content representing position offset detection process.
In this position offset detection processes, first, it is determined that whether intermediate transfer belt 41 is new product (step S100).Then, in the case of intermediate transfer belt 41 is new product, calculate middle turning Print benchmark rotary speed Vb(step S110 with 41), it is stored in memory element 100b (step Rapid S111).
On the other hand, in the case of intermediate transfer belt 41 is not new product (step S100), it is judged that Whether in-position offset detection period (step S101).As position offset detection period, example When switching on power such as oriented device, when number of prints reaches regulation number etc..Wherein, this process is Start when secondary transfer roller 42 is positioned at separation point position.It is positioned in secondary transfer roller 42 During crimping position, control portion 100 starts with process, controls actuator so that it is move to separate Position.
Next, it is judged that whether the variable quantity of the temperature detected by temperature sensor 44 is in regulation Amount is above (step S102).This is the secondary transfer roller 42 owing to being sometimes made up of bipeltate etc. External diameter change according to temperature, when secondary transfer roller 42 crimps with intermediate transfer belt 41 in Between the rotary speed of transfer belt 41 slightly change, show as color displacement.Change in temperature In the case of change amount is more than ormal weight, the benchmark rotary speed revising intermediate transfer belt 41 is prevented Only color displacement (step S103).Wherein, by variable quantity and the correction of rotary speed of temperature Between relation obtain previously according to experiment etc. and be stored in memory element 100b.
It follows that form registration colour code Rk~Ry(step S104 on intermediate transfer belt 41), Position offset detection sensor 43 is utilized to detect the registration colour code Rk~Ry(step formed S105).
Then, the position of each color is calculated according to the testing result of registration colour code Rk~Ry inclined Shifting amount (step S106).It addition, simultaneously, for registration colour code Rk, internal timer is passed through Measure the write registrating colour code Rk by exposure device 60K to by position offset detection sensor 43 detect the time till registration colour code Rk, calculate rotary speed Vb of intermediate transfer belt 41 ' (step S107).
Then, according to rotary speed Vb calculated of intermediate transfer belt 41 ' and be stored in and deposit Benchmark rotary speed Vb in storage unit 100b, obtains the rotary speed difference Δ of intermediate transfer belt Vb(=Vb-Vb ') (step S108).
It follows that according to rotary speed difference Δ Vb correction position side-play amount Hy, Hm, Hc(step Rapid S109).Specifically, for Y color, deduct relatively from current position offset Hy In K color Y color write timing, offset Δ Hy that rotary speed difference Δ Vb causes, And it is rewritten into the value after subtracting each other.This offset Δ Hy, Δ Hm, Δ Hc can be divided by following formula Do not obtain.
Δ Hy=Py/ Δ Vb
Δ Hm=Pm/ Δ Vb
Δ Hc=Pc/ Δ Vb
Here, Py, Pm, the Pc in formula is the setting of the photoconductor drum on the basis of K color Interval (spacing).
Thus, after reason terminates in this place, when performing actual image formation, turn according to by centre Print with 41 the side-play amount that causes of speed difference be modified after position offset Hm~Hc control Imaged write timing, it is possible to prevent by the deterioration in time of intermediate transfer belt 41, drastically The generation of the speed fluctuation of intermediate transfer belt 41 that causes of variations in temperature caused prevent color Skew.
Additionally, due to by exposure device write registration the colour code rotation by photoconductor drum and quilt It is delivered to what time in primary transfer portion determined that, so the rotation of intermediate transfer belt can also be replaced Speed, but use the write from photoconductor drum is carried out by exposing unit registration colour code start to By position offset detection sensor 43 detect on intermediate transfer belt registration colour code till time Between, carry out correction position side-play amount.That is, it is in the case of new product, from by exposing by intermediate transfer belt The write of the registration colour code that photoconductor drum is carried out by light unit has started to by position offset detection Sensor 43 detects that the time till the registration colour code on intermediate transfer belt is as fiducial time It is stored in memory element 100b.Then, in position offset detection processes, measure from by exposing The write of the electro-optical device registration colour code to carrying out on photoconductor drum has started to by position skew inspection Survey the time till the registration colour code that sensor detects on intermediate transfer belt.Then, will be according to survey Time and the time difference of said reference time made and the above-mentioned position offset correction calculated The position offset during state that one-tenth secondary transfer roller contacts with middle transfer body.
